To the family and friends of Mother Eleanor H. Jackson:


In our times of loss, we can sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed with feelings of confusion and sorrow. Hopelessness and despair may well up in our hearts, and it can seem as though comfort is beyond our reach, but as Jesus Christ tells us, “Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4).

We would like to express to you our deepest sympathy as you cope with the passing of Mother Jackson. Stay focused and look to God knowing that He has everything under control and in His precious care.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you. May God grant you comfort during your time of mourning. God Bless!!

Sincerely,



Apostle Samuel R. English, Sr.
